Dissected: OPPO G11 Muse Gaming PMP

9. March 2009

1 Comment

In case you’re wondering how far Chinese PMP makers would go to prove the sound build of their products, one would be enlightened by OPPO’s pioneering effort in gadget dissection, namely of the G11 Muse. This is the first from a Chinese maker, and what can we say, we like it. They give us a look [...]

Viliv S5 Slams UMID M1 mbook

26. February 2009

5 Comments

We thought the UMID M1 mbook was a pretty cool device but hi-tech Korea doesn’t think so. While Viliv sold all 1,000 units of the S5 in pre-order, UMID’s 500 M1 mbook has some left overs. Now, we have no idea how competitive the UMPC market is in Korea. Kevin Kang of CNET thinks it’ll [...]

24. February 2009

1 Comment

Our pals at Journal du Geek finally published their review of the Meizu M8. The phone is only available in India and China for now. The Meizu M8 is not a 3G phone but my hope is that it will be once it gets released in Europe (dubbed Meizu M8 3G or something like that) [...]

Sony Walkman X-Series Review

5. February 2009

2 Comments

Journaldugeek has an exclusive on Sony’s touchscreen Walkman, the first of the X series. We were excited when the Sony Walkman NWZ-X1000 was first announce, this being Sony’s first touchscreen PMP. We know as far as design goes, it has ways to go before beating the iPod Touch but performance is another thing altogether. Greg [...]

CNET Review Slacker G2

17. September 2008

0 Comments

We spoke too soon about the Slacker G2. CNET thinks the player is important enough for a full review and they have it on site. The Slacker G2 is a video-less player but the Slacker online music support is just excellent. Yep, everybody is saying as far as WiFi-connected music service is concerned. So, is [...]

Slacker G2 Review

16. September 2008

0 Comments

The Slacker G2 has a review from Gadling. Why not CNET, you ask? The 2.5-inch QVGA screen will not be playing a lot of videos but the ability to customize your online radio station may be worth the unannounced asking price of the unit and the $10/ month or $90/ a year Slacker Radio subsciption.

PMP Armageddon: Ainol V3000 vs ONDA VX787 vs RAmos T8

6. September 2008

2 Comments

This year, we had three very good MP4 players coming out of China: the RAmos T8, ONDA VX787 and the Ainol V3000. The RAmos T8 iMovie has the advantage on the storage side maxing out at 32GB while the Ainol V3000 is definitely king on the screen resolution while the VX787 may have its very [...]

The new Archos portable media player and Internet device has just been thoroughly reviewed at Archoslounge. Though the software is still in beta, Archos somehow thought it fit to make the device available so be warned. Besides the nice form factor and the incredible big screen, the improved processor is really something users will enjoy. Archos’ [...]

Pasen F13 MP4 Player Tested

2. September 2008

2 Comments

Although Pasen was responsible for getting this site in hot waters due to its illicit use of an artists intellectual property (see the comments section of this post), but the company did manage to come out with a cheap but workable portable media player. The video playback can run only through conversion. The resulting format [...]

Chuwi T8 Video Review: “Double Cover” Touch Screen Live

16. July 2008

0 Comments

A 3-inch touch screen player in a pretty sleek form factor will always get me interested. The Chuwi T8 offers a little more than your regular touchscreen PMP: it’s called “dual cover” technology. I am not sure if the video reviewer is touching his Chuwi correctly or maybe it’s an early firmware issue, but the [...]
